Does Squeezebox support AAC on Linux systems?
AAC files can be played from SlimServer on Linux using a program called FAAD2. To get this working with SlimServer you must do the following: • Download the FAAD2 source code, compile it, and install it. • Download and install the latest nightly build of SlimServer. • (Squeezebox1) Edit your convert.conf file to use FAAD2 instead of mov123: Comment the lines “mov aif * *” and ” [mov123] $FILE$” Add two lines beneath the commented lines reading: “mov wav squeezebox *” then ” [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$” • (Squeezebox2) Edit your convert.conf file to use FAAD2 instead of mov123: Comment the lines “mov aif * *” and ” [mov123] $FILE$” Add two lines beneath the commented lines reading: “mov wav squeezebox2 *” then ” [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$” Optionally, you can have the server transcode AAC to FLAC.
